Senator Lodge is right in sayin
that reduction in military or naval
expenditures by the United States is
under present conditions, perilous to
the country. His statement on this
subject coincides precisely with that
of former Secretary of the Navy Dan
iels, who, in testimony before the
Naval Committee last winter, warned
Congress that in case America re
mains outside the League of Nations,
it is ;he imperative duty of this na
tion io have the greatest navy in
the world. Senator Lodge is thus
hoisted by his own petard, compell
ed as he is now to recognize that
this madness in keeping the United
States out of the League has forced
upon the debt burdened American
people continuation and increase
present staggering burdens result
ing from necessary military and
naval armament.
The Lodge polcy has made of the
United States little less than an Ish
maelite among nations. The pending
tariff bill as well as the Emergency
tariff now in effect gives the finish
ing touch to the policy of isolation
that has increased the army of un
employed, cut down exports to for
eign countries and foreign imports
to this country und spread industrial
depression from coast to coast.
It is idle in Senator Lodge or any
of his associates who wrought this
work of assassination of the country's
industry and commerce to set up this
belated plea in defense of maintain
ing existing armament on the pro-
sent scale. Every one knows that so
long as the folly that he fathered
persists in the Washington govern
ment, the nation must have arma
ment in constantly increasing magnitude.
Paradoxical though jit may seem
this increased armament is slaying
the thing it feeds on. The more mon
ey required by this policy, the longer
will be continued the present de
pressed conditions, which Senator
Lodge, in his speech in the Senate
recently stressed.

The record of the Hyers family i
Nebraska embraces the story of fi ft
years of service as law enforcemen
officials from Ruben W. Hyers down
to the grandson, "Hud" Hyers, vl
is just branching into this line o
work. In speaking of the matter
the Omaha Bee has the following in
teresting account of the work of this
notable family:
"Yesterday, it was Reuben Hyers
sheriff of Cass county, a horseman
who rode hard and fast after cattl
rustlers alid other criminals of th
day. Later it was Reuben Hyers
warden of the state penitentiary, dep
u ty warden and turnkey. Right now
Reuben Hyers, 79, hale and hearty
is keeping pace with men in thei
20s in guarding prisoners at the
Greenwood convict road camp.
Gus Now Leader
"More recently it has been Gus
Hyers, 47, sheriff of Lancastc
county, who, with former Chie
Rriggs of South Omaha, either shJt
or captured the gang who. under the
leadership of "Shorty" Gray, shot
their way out of the state peniten
tiary. Now it is State Sheriff Gus
Hyers, chosen by Governor McKelvie
organizer of Nebraska's state police
force, who, in powerful motor cars
chases jailbreakers and criminals.
"Tomorrow, it will be Bud Hyers
now 21, grandson and son, respec
tively of the former two. who, pos
sibly, in an airplane, will do his bit
to catch the convicted criminals. For
Bud is proving that police officers
iike poets, artists and other masters
of arts and sciences, are born and
not made.
Wants Bud to Farm
"Gus likes hair-raising experiences
but he doesn't think much of a
repetition of them by Bud. For four
years Gus has dug down in his
nockets and produced the coin which
in another year will make Bud
graduated farmer from the state ag
ricultural college.
" 'It's a of a jol) making a
farmer out of that boy,' Gus said the
other day.
"Not that Bud is antagonistic to
the cows, chickens and swaying fields
jf golden grain. Bud loves all those
things if he can pass them in a
speedy motor car, in a chase after
jonvicts, at the rate of 60 to 70 miles
in hour. But when it comes to an
intensive study of such things. Bud,
to quote his father, 'isn't a success.'
Always on the Job
"Funme.-t thing about that boy."
Gus said. 'Never can find him when
there are lessons to learn, but if there
is any excitement or long drives to
make, there's Bud out in the car
saying:
" 'Wnere to, dad?
"Furthermore, Bud always weath
ers the verbal storm bis presence
elicits, and he goes.
"When Gus was gone a couple, of
weeks ago looking for former Banker
Claridge, two convicts escaped. It
was Bud who led the chase after
hem, Roing at from 60 to 70 miles
an hour. It was Hans Nielson, head
of the state Bertillion system and
veteran Omaha police officer, who
in another car was trying to keep up
with Bud. Nielson lost control of his
machine and went over a 15-foot
embankment. He is walking with
a cane as a result.
Airplane Offer Unsettled
"It is Bud who wants to take ad
vantage of the offer of W. B. Hughes,
secretary of the Nebraska State
Bankers' association, to give Gus an
airplane. Gus is dubious about ac
cepting the ofTcr; Bud insists upon
accepting it.
"The controversy over the use of
an airplane for state police duty is
still on in the Hyers family."

Think for Themselves
Such folks know real quality and DEMAND it.
They prefer Camels because Camels give them the
smoothest, mellowest smoke they can buy because
they love the mild, rich flavor of choicest tobaccos,
perfectly blended and because Camels leave NO
CIGARETTY AFTERTASTE.
Like every man who does his own thinking, you
want fine tobacco in your cigarettes. You'll find it
in Camels.
And, mind you, no flashy package just for show.
No extra wrappers! No costly frills! These things
don't improve the smoke any more than premiums
or coupons.'

The plans are being materialized
for the formation in this city of a
voiture of the "Nationale La Societe
des 10 Hommes et S Chevaux,"
which has in the last few months
been gaining in popularity among
the members of the American Legion.
This organization is composed of
men who are also members of the
Americian Legion and the title is
clearly understood by the service
men who have had experience in
France or any part of Europe during
the late war.
It is the playground of the service
men and here they find the spirit of
good humor and pleasure exemplified
to its fullest. It has no dull moments
and the initatory ceremonies are
such as to creat the greatest of in
terest both for the initated and those
who are eye witnesses of the event.
It is necessary to secure fiften of
the legion men to secure the charter
and those who desire to recall mem
ories of the chemin de fer have only
to secure an application blank, fill
it out and prepare to have one of
the times of their lives.
